There are suggestions that premotor cortex might play a role either in the execution of axial and proximal movements or in the sensory guidance of movement. Monkeys with bilateral premotor lesions were therefore studied on a series of behavioural tests; the tasks differed either in the movements to be performed or in the nature of the sensory cues that guided the animals. It was found that the success or failure of the monkeys depended on the way in which they received instructions as to what to do. These results are consistent with the view that premotor cortex is involved in the direction of movement but not in its execution.
有观点认为，运动前区皮质可能在轴向和近端运动的执行中发挥作用，或者在运动的感觉引导方面发挥作用。因此，对双侧运动前区皮质受损的猴子进行了一系列行为测试；这些任务在要执行的运动方面或引导动物的感觉线索的性质方面有所不同。结果发现，猴子的成功或失败取决于它们接受关于做什么的指令的方式。这些结果与运动前区皮质参与运动方向而非运动执行的观点一致。
